Nina Burleigh burst on the national scene in 1998 when, as reported by MRC here, the former Time reporter famously said of Bill Clinton: "I'd be happy to give him [oral sex] just to thank him for keeping abortion legal."
Eight years later, Burleigh still has abortion on the brain. Her current column at the Huffington Post takes South Dakota to task for recently adopting legislation that bans most abortions.
But it wasn't enough for Buleigh to criticize S. Dakota's move. She had to denigrate the state's midwestern nature with such breathtaking condescension that you'd almost think it was a parody of East Coast elitism.
Excerpts:
"Is the loneliness of the prairie and the vast dirt emptiness of the Black Hills so profoundly affecting that only the idea of more brand-new babies can relieve it?"
"The land is so ungenerous, the place so jobless, that [S. Dakota] are moving away faster than they can be replaced."
Her ultimate hit on the Mount Rushmore state came in this description of Pat Buchanan supporters she saw during a 1996 campaign stop there:
"American Gothic-styled, grim-faced men in blue overalls flanked by pairs or trios of women in long floral dresses, a local polygamist sect, apparently. These glaze-eyed, pod-women had been allowed to make the trip to the airport that afternoon to see and hear Pat, in what was surely their only voyage off the dirt vista of the frozen American steppe since their last trip to the hospital delivery room."
And they call New Yorkers snobs!
Burleigh Blows Off S. Dakota ping to Today show list.
I'd appreciate it if this could be pinged to abortion lists here. Thanks.
Oh my !
Sounds she likes to blow all sorts of things.
Like George Clooney, she is proud to be out of the mainstream. The great unwashed majority of Americans are clueless, but a political elite (from the Upper West side) may someday lead us to the promised land of socialism.
Come to think of it... beauty IS only a lightswitch away.
She and her slobbering Pro-death-to-children followers should be on the FBI's Most Wanted posters.
What a first-class "c-word."
Well, Ol' Nina's got nice lips, now don't she? |
There is nothing nice that can be said about such a hateful person. It must be miserable to be her.
Sounds like she's a Jay Bennish graduate!
So stupid.....even if Clinton had been pro-life he couldn't have changed the law.
Woof!
I'm sure she learned her snobbishness from the deva of condescension, Hitlery.

Something tells me that Billy Boy would decline the offer. I'm sure he has enough halfway decent looking bimbos in his stable that he doesn't need to bother with the outright ugly ones.
I'm sure that Nina thinks Rushmore should feature Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, and Barney Frank.
I'll bet her parents are very proud of her.
"Plain" doesn't even begin to describe her...
